The correct answer is: " James Fannin's decision to wait several days before withdrawing from Goliad".
The Battle of Coleto took place in 1836 during the Texian Revolution, between Mexico and the revolutionary territory of Texas.
Colonel Fannin received the order of retreating from Goliad because, after the defeat of the Texians in the Alamo Battle, the Mexican president had sent troops that had penetrated in Texian territories. The retreat was not quick at all and the Mexican forces were able to surround the Texians and to defeat them in the so-called Battle of Coleto.
The European countries were able to colonise African countries rapidly because there were rivalries between African leaders. These kings and chiefs were competing with each other to be the richest and most powerful within their tribes.
In 1901, banker John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) purchased Carnegie Steel for some $480 million, making Andrew Carnegie one of the world's richest men. That same year, Morgan merged Carnegie Steel with a group of other steel businesses to form U.S. Steel, the world's first billion-dollar corporation.
In his final years, Carnegie's net worth was US$475 million, but by the time of his death in 1919 he had donated most of his wealth to charities and other philanthropic endeavors and had only US$30 million left to his personal fortune.
